Er, that was outside your quoted bit actually, Iains. Your speech marks ended just before that bit about antimicrobial doodah, which made that bit appear to be part of your own remarks, which then ended with your bleating remainers thingie. Whatever. Whoever wrote it was seriously misinformed. Treating food with antimicrobials during processing has no impact on antibiotic resistance whatsoever. Nowt to do with it. Antibiotics are used on living animals, not dead bodies, so antibiotic resistance don't come into it. Cooking a chicken in the oven kills microbes on it, so cooking is antimicrobial. Maybe we should all stop cooking food for fear of engendering antibiotic resistance then, extrapolating from the statement of your source (wot wasn't you, so you tell us). Of course, I'm perfectly happy for you to pass off the bad science to someone else. But bad science it was. And you quoted it as if you thought it was OK. It isn't.
